Parker Scott

USPA Certified

Polo Instructor/Coach

A lifelong horseperson, Parker grew up surrounded by polo. Parker’s father kept horses at Will Roger’s farm and played polo, enabling him to be immersed in polo from a young age. While in college, Parker played at Colorado State University. Parker is currently a Certified USPA Umpire and coaches two interscholastic teams at Poway Polo Club and has been a member of USPA for 8 years. Parker has won numerous polo tournaments and has been awarded MVP multiple times. Despite his busy life teaching and playing polo, Parker also participated on two USPA subcommittees – collegiate funding and armed services﻿

I have two favorites: the 2017 Regional Interscholastic Tournament- our underdog team nearly beat the highly favored champions and my monthly contribution to the Polo Player’s Edition Magazine titled “Parker’s Polo Minute.” This provides a simple concept to players of all abilities – a great simple idea easy for newer players to work on, and a good reminder to those more advanced.
